Day 69 – Monday, August 17, 2009

The four of us walked to Discovery Harbor (pictures) in Penetanguishene, Ontario. It’s a living museum constructed on the site of a prior naval base that was completed in 1817, after the war of 1812. The Canadians still considered the Americans a threat in 1817 and thought that they would attack their borders with naval power. There is great historical significance to the old compound so it was rebuilt as a reminder of their growth when building their nation.

Today John rented a car to pick up a package in Port Severn! The package didn’t arrive but we got to ride around in the car and do some shopping. Tomorrow we will try again!
